Love it!

It's fixed now. Apologies.

The comments below the article are very interesting especially the ones about destroying the ottoman heritage.

Are you talking about SQL Server analytic environments like MS Business Intelligence suite? Yes that's a lot more tooling than postgres, probably 10x of times bigger than all the postgres tools out there. Most of postgres tools I've used are command line tools like pgtop or pgbadger.

You can use a generic data model (example [1]) with appropriate metadata etc. What you are proposing seems more difficult to maintain (separate databases for different customers). If this are separate deployments than different databases are an option with some core module and than specific databases for each customer. I don't recommend doing DDL updates in realtime because of other issues for example: logging of data in some log tables, the data structures in your application (consider what changes would be implied to your ORM entities or other domain entities) etc.

What extra knowledge would you advice that one should combine with postgres. Web development vs OS knowledge for example?

Thunderbird is better than evolution. But also gets stuck. Pretty unusable for me.

I hope it stands out it's promisses. My Gmail account is not usable on any gnu/linux IMAP client.

That site is awful. Almost all links are broken.

Good work Mikko.
